Queen to re-release back catalogue as they leave EMI

The band have signed a long-term agreement with Universal Music Group to release the albums, thereby ending their 40-year partnership with EMI. Each of the re-releases will be remastered and repackaged, as well as featuring additional content.

Queen‘s first five albums, ‘Queen’, ‘Queen II’, ‘Sheer Heart Attack’, ‘A Night At The Opera’ and ‘A Day At The Races’ will be released next March, with the rest of their studio album output to follow throughout the year.

Speaking about the new deal guitarist Brian May explained: “We are very excited, after all this time, to be embarking on a new phase of our career – with a new record company – with new ideas, and new dreams.”
